Aight im retarded... So how do they have stock when aussies website says out of stock???

 

Ok. Theres a difference between a lock rite and a no slip. The lock right has a tendency to fail. Ive never heard of a no slip breaking. They are probably the best lunchbox style locker. BUT! Theres rumors going around that the no slip has been sold (not the rumor) and is going to be discontinued.

 

This

 

Everyplace i found on the internet in the last month which advertised Aussie's were sold out when I called. Course, I really wanted another Spartan which hit the internet last Monday. Mine should be here tommorow!!

 

Some of the forum vendors have been informed that the Powertrax No slip has ceased production and will not be restarted. Looks like it's Spartans and aussies if they can ever keep them in stock.

 

I heard they will bring them back into production...probably trying to cut costs.

 

I know that Spartan is a relatively new product compared to Aussie so I understand the delay in building new lockers due to the tooling process. But Aussie has been out of stock for a year. The no-slip is exceedingly higher in cost as well as the lockright. Aussie seems to have a really good product, but if you don't make it available someone else will make something that will take the market. Hence, Spartan! I can't help but wonder, with this big of a demand, What is Aussie doing?

 

You're correct. Just got off the phone with Richmond. They went out of production as with the rest of the lockers, a few weeks ago due to a transfer of company, bought out by Motive Gear. They just started production up again. My locker is 3 weeks out.

 

Aight. So let me get this straight. No slip is going away. Spartan cant handle over 31" tires or something? And Aussie has a good warranty and isnt easy to break? Is my info good?

 

Lock Right/Powertrax/No-slip etc is not leaving. Richmond Gear who makes the Lock Right/Powertrax just got purchased by Motive Gear. Thus the cause for the back order. Just spoke with Richmond Gear.

 

Good to know, thanks for the update.

 

Ordered my 29 Spline Spartan tonight.

 

Good for you! So you found someone who wasn't sold out!!!??

 

You could say that.

Aussies are back ordered because they changed where they were getting them made from. The first did a batch of D30 lockers at the new facility and the 8,25 I was told was shortly behind.

I went with the Spartan because it will match my front locker and it was a simple task to pop it in.
